To expand the field of high-value utilization of lignin. The degraded deep eutectic solvent lignin-grafted poly (N-Vinyl caprolactam) (DES-lignin-g-PNVCL) was synthesized by modified DES-lignin and NVCL via the combination of activators regenerated by electron transfer-atom transfer radical polymerization (ARGET-ATRP). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), 1 H NMR, X-ray electron spectroscopy (XPS), dynamic light scattering (DLS), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) were used to characterize the structure and performance of DES-lignin-g-PNVCL. The results indicated that the PNVCL and DES-lignin-g-PNVCL were successfully prepared by ARGET-ATRP. The lowest critical solution temperature (LCST) of PNVCL was 35.75 °C. Due to different strength of hydrogen bond , different energies were required, so the LCST of the polymer can be regulated. When the molar ratio of phenolic hydroxyl group in degraded DES-lignin to 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide (BiBB) was increased from 1:1 to 1:7, the grafting rate of DES-lignin-Br was increased from 32.87% to 60.84%, and the LCST of DES-lignin-g-PNVCL was decreased from 47.98 °C to 27.88 °C. The LCST of DES-lignin-g-PNVCL was increased from 30.98 °C to 44.64 °C when the addition amount of DES-lignin-Br was increased from 20 mg to 200 mg. The LCST of DES-lignin-g-PNVCL was increased from 27.20 °C to 39.86 °C when the ratio of DMF/water was increased from 1:4 to 4:1. The LCST of DES-lignin-g-PNVCL was decreased from 52.10 °C to 31.02 °C when the concentration of DES-lignin-g-PNVCL was increased from 0.5 mg/mL to 2.5 mg/mL. The equation represented the relationship between LCST and influencing factors was obtained, the good predictability provided a tactics for preparing desired LCST thermo-responsible polymer.

This work was carried out in order to broaden the application field of lignin and improve its additional value. The degraded deep eutectic solvent lignin-grafted poly(N-vinyl caprolactam) (DES-lignin-g-PNVCL) was synthesized by using modified DES-lignin and NVCL via activators regenerated by electron transfer-atom transfer radical polymerization (ARGET-ATRP). Aspirin was coated with DES-lignin-g-PNVCL through self-assembly by an ethanol/water anti-solvent method to obtain lignin thermosensitive polymer nanoparticle coated aspirin (aspirin@LTNP). X-ray electron spectroscopy (XPS), elemental analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV) were used to characterize the composition, structure and morphology of DES-lignin-g-PNVCL and aspirin@LTNP. The releasing behavior of aspirin@LTNP at different temperatures and pH values was investigated. The safety was evaluated by cytotoxicity tests. The results indicated that aspirin@LTNP was mainly accumulated by the hydrophobic effect and π–π interaction in the process of self-assembly, and its morphology was an ellipsoid stacked layer by layer. The aspirin@LTNP hydrophilic chains were increased and had externally hydrophilic and internally hydrophobic structures. The particle size decreased slightly during the self-assembly process. The red-shift occurred at the π–π interaction wavelength of the lignin aromatic ring, which indicated a physical coating process. The coating rate of aspirin@LTNP was 88.87%. Aspirin@LTNP showed an obvious temperature response; the 96 h cumulative release rate at the LCST was 73.75 ± 1.16%, while the 96 h cumulative release rate above the LCST was 28.10 ± 0.92%. The 96 h cumulative release rate was 63.21 ± 0.57% at pH = 1.5 and 49.56 ± 0.48% at pH = 7.4. The dosage of aspirin@LTNP used in the experiment was safe. This study provided a strategy for drug coating and controlled release.

This work reports preparing thermal responsive poly ( N -isovinylcaprolactam) (PNVCL) microgel based films for cell growth and detachment. PNVCL microgels of hydrated size ranging from 386 to 815 nm (25 °C) and different crosslinking degree are prepared. The PNVCL microgels can be rapidly and massively deposited on glass by spin coating method. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and water contact angle (WCA) are used to study the influence of crosslinking degree and particle size on the surface morphology, stability, and hydrophilicity of PNVCL microgel film. The cell activity of the desorbed cells is quantitatively characterized employing human normal lung epithelial cells (BEAS-2B). The results show that BEAS-2B cells can be desorbed quickly from the film in 30 min, and the optical density (OD) value of desorbed cells incubated after 3 d increases by approximately 52% compared to the control group. This study broadens the selection of temperature-sensitive film for cell harvesting, and provides a new tool for the quantitative characterization of desorbed cells.

Hollow spheres (HSs) are widely used as nanoreactors and catalysts due to their significantly large surface area, low density and high loading capacity. In this paper, new composites with PNVCL on the interior surface of mesoporous TiO 2 hollow spheres (TiO 2 -HSs), which were named PNVCL@TiO 2 -HSs, were designed and prepared. After grafting PNVCL on TiO 2 -HSs, the light absorption range extended from less than 400 nm to less than 418 nm. Compared with traditional composites (TiO 2 -HSs@PNVCL), the new composites have good dispersibility in water at a wide temperature range. Thus PNVCL@TiO 2 -HSs can be used as photocatalysts and showed higher catalytic activity in photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B (RB) and Acid Red 57 (AR57) in wastewater. ·OH radicals were confirmed to be the main active species and played a dominant role in the degradation, and the photocatalytic mechanism was discussed. The new composites provided new insights for exploring more diversified grafting methods.
